How to open Firefox in Full Screen mode?

I need to open Firefox on a Mac running Lion in Full Screen mode to act as a kiosk.

I was using the R-Kiosk 0.9.0 Firefox Add-on; but, it conflicts with a print javascript I am also running, so I can't use it.

Anyone know a way to accomplish this? either with an add-on or, perhaps, with AppleScript? Could an AppleScript be triggered to run when Firefox is opened?

Solution

  • This should do it:

    activate application "Firefox"
delay 2    
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Firefox"
    click menu item "Full Screen" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell

    or maybe a keystroke:

    activate application "Firefox"
delay 2
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "f" using {command down, shift down}
end tell
